Scientists have uncovered an unexpected breakdown of nuclear order in a remarkably symmetric atom, challenging long-standing ideas about where such effects can occur.

Scientists reveal how two unstable nuclei trigger neutron star explosions and power intense X-ray bursts across the universe.

Astronomers have discovered 21 "one in a million" binary systems in which sun-like stars orbit a hidden "dead star," an extreme dense and compact object called a neutron star. One of the neutron stars ...

A rapidly spinning neutron star that sweeps beams of radiation across the universe like a cosmic lighthouse has been discovered by U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Remote Sensing Division intern ...

It weighs more than 2 times the mass of our sun, but is only 18 miles wide. Astronomers have discovered the "most massive neutron star ever measured," amassing to more than two times the mass of our ...

A superkilonova candidate event, named AT2025ulz, was observed in 2025; LIGO and Virgo first spotted gravitational waves, ...

University of Leicester scientists involved in international discovery of neutron star “anti-glitch” using NASA’s Swift satellite. University of Leicester astronomers have contributed to an ...

For more than 60 years, the High Flux Isotope Reactor has produced neutron beams for the benefit of society, creating real-world impacts that span energy security, quantum computing, healthcare, ...

Scientists from several institutions, including the University of Chicago, discovered a lemon-shaped planet with an ...
